How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in St Leonards are dark by about 4:05pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day

- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or BH24 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Balance the food line-up
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
